As I’m in my mid 30s I’ve been losing more and more people.. It sucks, but it’s gotten me to thinking about health more and more.
I recently went to the dentist, where they check your blood pressure for whatever reason, and mine was extremely elevated. That got me even more worried.
I work a sometimes very labor intensive job and get a ton of excersise and walk 5 mile days multiple times a week. Currently 6′ at around 200 lbs. I have a little bulk in my belly but no fat anywhere else really.
I drink water religiously being I’m a r/hydrohomie

Wisdom teeth. Impacted now so major surgery if I have them done.
Frenulum surgery (I eventually got it but that’s irrelevant)
Seeing a dermatologist about sketchy moles.
I had one on my scalp that turned out to be cancerous and they had to cut out a piece of skin the size of a deck of cards and I felt bro scraping during the Mohs surgery.
10/10 do not recommend letting it get to that point.
Signing up for the gym and going consistently.
I finally had a physical in December and my new doctor told me that I could afford to lose a few pounds via diet and walking. He then told me that, if I wanted, he could write me a letter of medical necessity and I could use either HSA or FSA to join a gym.
I took him up on it and got an annual membership with that cash. Been going as much as I can and have dropped at least 10 lbs so far.
Getting my ADHD diagnosis and starting treatment.
My teens and 20s could be so much easier.
This is gross but I had plantar warts that I put off seeing a doctor about. Really stupid decision. Most of the time they’re painless but if my feet were squeezed just the right way they hurt like crazy. A few appointments with a podiatrist made them disappear.
Penis reduction surgery.
Frenectomy
Getting a filling that fell out fixed. Eventually the tooth pretty much exploded on a Friday and I needed emergency work done on Monday, so that was a fun weekend.
I had an anal fistula that I put off getting treated for 3 years. 3 years of bleeding when I poop, pain, taping pads to my butthole before getting intimate. I though my life was over at 21 and didn’t even consider that surgery could fix it.
Stupid. Had an operation and was perfect in 3 weeks.
